As someone who was very close with my father, he died on Christmas Eve when I was 19, I was in a state of shock. I felt numb. I thought something was wrong with me. A few months later all the emotions hit me at once and it was like I felt everything, unexpectedly. It was like I couldn’t stop crying. The mind does strange things to protect us. Just because she isn’t crying doesn’t mean she isn’t grieving.

[@I-hate-youtube797]

I know exactly what you mean. I have done that every single time someone I love has died. When my grandmother died I didn’t cry until I saw her at the funeral. Everyone thought I was psychotic. I had the biggest mental breakdown of everyone though at the funeral. It’s called going into shock. It’s normal and I’ve come to learn some people just react like that. I feel so sorry for this lady and it makes me angry people are judging her because she’s not in tears.

[@faithnaidoo7647]

2 weeks is about the standard amount of time that people can maintain an emotional state.

[@allthingsnu4673]

Our family lost 4 members in a car crash years ago and grief hit us all differently and at different times. There were times when I cried so hard at the most unexpected times, and other times when I felt like I should be crying but I wasn't. It was very confusing, and I felt like I was grieving each of them differently which was weird to me at first until it started making sense. There was also anger at the 18-wheeler driver who plowed into their car from behind. We can't judge whether someone is grieving just because we don't see them crying because grief and the reality of what has happened settles in at different times. There are many emotions going on all at the same time. You may not understand why you aren't crying at a particular moment but you'll find yourself trying to eat dinner and you end up crying too much to eat because, just for a moment, you realized that your loved one(s) really is/are gone and you won't ever see them again. Grief goes deeper than any of us can understand and the reality of what has happened takes a while to set-in as well. My prayers go out to this woman and the loved ones of all of the lost. 🙏

[@donnaanderson2846]

I am truly sorry for your loss! While many of us have lost loved ones, and even more than others, few have lost so many at once. Grief is a “weird” thing, and then, we all have our own personalities, that play a part in our grief. As someone who is VERY introspective, and who has had to bury two infants, people typically read me as cold, and detached from my emotions. They don’t see/acknowledge the work I put in, every day of my life, in valuing the moments I have with each person, and determining to actually live in the moment. Because I understand at a deep level, have frail, and fleeting life is, I don’t need the insulation of denial, when something tragic happens. This doesn’t mean that I don’t grieve, but that I do it in my own way. Like you, I’ve had moments, when the grief is blindsiding. I just go with it. It is however, to be suffering a loss, and having people close to you, judging you, because your process is different. I wish you the best!

[@allthingsnu4673]

@@donnaanderson2846 I'm so sorry for your losses as well. I understand what you're saying about not needing the insulation of denial although you are grieving.

It’s a free country. It’s called freedom of speech to be able to say out loud and state your own opinion as long as it’s not hate speech or something obscenely offensive and I didn’t see anything like that here. People are allowed to express themselves in a written format or spoken format. This ain’t China or Russia where your life would be in danger if you speak up though this platform is leaning towards autocracy, and too much censorship which is a sad thing as it’s not supposed to be like that in a truly democratic country. It’s against the constitution prevent people speaking out. You should be aware of that.

[@skylark1250]

What made this horrific event even harder to bear was the insistent and insensitive conjectures by the media that “banging noises” were an indication of survivors and a signal of SOS from The Titan to the searchers. Hopes raised, and then the horror of wondering if the crew would suffer suffocation in the submersible if the rescue didn’t move quickly. A Navy rover found the debris field in the location it would have been during its descent, about 1600 feet from the Titanic hull. So why did the media fuel speculation about a “signal of life” when the Navy knew it was lost? News networks did a terrible thing to the families in prolonging hope where none would be had. Shameful.

[@alissaalbritton_]

They even said right before they lost communication they said they were descending to fast and had to release some kind of weight to try and come back up or slow down. They also said that they coastguard or whomever listens to the signals under water heard a loud boom at the time they lost contact. And it took them 8 hours to call in the coastguard? They knew all along the sub imploded. From multiple experts and evidence. They did all the for media attention because they saw how much attention it got. It’s all very strange. Makes you really think why though?

Allah almighty our creator says, *Every soul will taste death. And you will only receive your full reward on the Day of Judgment. Whoever is spared from the Fire and is admitted into Paradise will ˹indeed˺ triumph, whereas the life of this world is no more than the delusion of enjoyment.* Qur'an 3 (185) This is our first life which is temporary and we all will die and Allah will again resurrect us on the day of Resurrection. That life will be eternal life either in Paradise or hellfire depending upon good and bad deeds you performed in this world. So my brother come back to our Lord and follow his book Qur'an in which there is a guidance for the Mankind. That's the true path.

This wonderful mother has lost the fruit of her life and the lights of her soul because of the greed and incredible malice of those who ran the Ocean Gate corporation. There were more people than just Stockton Rush that knew that every time that sub went down, it was making carbon fiber crunching sounds that betrayed that it was a - one and done -submarine. I hope the most vicious lawyer on the entire planet offers his or her services to her so that they can legally do to the people who ran the management of Ocean Gate, what Ocean Gate did to her wonderful son and his father.

Grief is such an unpredictable beast. I've had it hit me like a wrecking ball out of nowhere at a funeral after being fine up until then. Another loss I just sobbed for days and felt completely numb and hollow for months. Another I cried every now and again but was normal otherwise. None of those reactions correlated in any way to how close I was to those people, or what they meant to me. Loss is almost incomprehensible to process, there is no runway for that plane, it just shoots off when and where it wants to for completely unpredictable reasons. I hope she has a good support system that can help her carry this grief. I feel for her so much, particularly knowing her son shouldn't have been in that vessel.

As someone who was very close with my father, he died on Christmas Eve when I was 19, I was in a state of shock. I felt numb. I thought something was wrong with me. A few months later all the emotions hit me at once and it was like I felt everything, unexpectedly. It was like I couldn’t stop crying. The mind does strange things to protect us. Just because she isn’t crying doesn’t mean she isn’t grieving.
